Bledsoe, Clippers slip past struggling Magic

Orlando, FL (Sports Network) - Eric Bledsoe scored 27 points to go along with
six rebounds and six steals, as the shorthanded Los Angeles Clippers grinded
out an 86-76 victory over the struggling Orlando Magic.

DeAndre Jordan added 13 points and 14 rebounds for the Clippers, who finally
had something to smile about on the Grammy road trip, snapping a three-game
skid. They did it without Blake Griffin, who missed his second straight game
with a strained left hamstring, and Chris Paul, who sat out his ninth straight
contest with a bruised right kneecap.

Jameer Nelson led Orlando with 18 points and five rebounds, while Nikola
Vucevic recorded a double-double with 15 points and 14 rebounds. The Magic
were the cure to the Clippers' ails, dropping their 11th straight game.
Orlando is just 2-22 since Dec. 21.
